dessIndent
The default value of the variable.

It is interpreted as a JS expression.

For form variables ,setting this property requires the form instances to be destroyed (history.remove("formName")).
If you want to use a default value for a newly created variable  create the variable using the 3 parameter version newVariable(name,type,defaultValue).

For INTEGER variables it can be an integer constant, like 10 for example.
For NUMBER variables it can be a real constant, like 22.41. For DATETIME
variables it can be "now", or a JS expression like "new Date()". For TEXT 

variables it can be any string surrounded with quotes, like "'some text'.{sub-section}{td}{tr}{builder-show:permission=edit}{tr:id=snc}{td}*Since*\\{sub-section:defaultValue_snc|text=|trigger=button}{sub-section}{sub-section:defaultValue_snc|trigger=none|class=sIndent} Replace with version info{sub-section}{td}{tr}{builder-show}{builder-show:permission=edit}{tr:id=prs}{td}*Parameters*\\{sub-section:defaultValue_prs|text=|trigger=button}{sub-section}{sub-section:defaultValue_prs|trigger=none|class=sIndent}{sub-section}{td}{tr}{builder-show}{tr:id=ret}{td}*Returns*\\{sub-section:defaultValue_ret|text=|trigger=button}{sub-section}{sub-section:defaultValue_ret|trigger=none|class=sIndent}[String]{sub-section}{td}{tr}{builder-show:permission=edit}{tr:id=see}{td}*Also see*\\{sub-section:defaultValue_see|text=|trigger=button}{sub-section}{div:class=sIndent}{sub-section:defaultValue_see|trigger=none}{sub-section}{div}{td}{tr}{builder-show}{builder-show:permission=edit}{tr:id=link}{td}*External links*\\{sub-section:defaultValue_link|text=|trigger=button}{sub-section}{div:class=sIndent}{sub-section:defaultValue_link|trigger=none}{sub-section}{div}{td}{tr}{builder-show}{tr:id=sam}{td}*Sample*\\{sub-section:defaultValue_sam|text=|trigger=button}{sub-section}{div:class=sIndent}{sub-section:defaultValue_sam|trigger=none}{code:language=javascript}
